I Miss My Dad

That Ache Will Never Go Away But You Will Learn to Live With It

By: MysticWriter

Written on August 6th, 2006

Sorry to say but you probably will never "get over" the loss of your father. I lost my first-love and the father of my children ten years ago to cancer. The "missing him" never EVER subsides. Sometimes, I long and ache for him SO desperately!!! I wish I could just pick up the phone and call him (sometimes, after ten years, I still catch myself grabbing the phone to call & tell him something.) But, you learn to live with it. Over time, missing the person becomes like an extra limb you have to carry around. You learn HOW to find fulfillment in memories...cuz they're always saying **** like, "Oh, he will always be living...in my heart...." that crap gets cheesy after a while...but, it's true. We keep them "alive." Nurture your memories. They're all you've got now and you'll definitely learn to love them! Start writing it all down, what you remember about him...if you haven't already! xo

I know how you feel I had a Daughter Erica that went to heaven to be with God

March 12, 2003 and not a goes by I don't wish I could rewrite my life story

and bring her back home to me. Although I can not see her I feel her presences

Some times it gives me comfort. to know she watches over me.

I lost my dad last year. He was 55, I was 27. I will never understand. He would have been a great grandfather if i ever had children, and i needed him................alot. my life will never be what i wanted it to be without him. i am a manic depressive at best, and without him...........just manic perhaps. I feel like the world will not know me much longer either, especially without him................you don't call the cops on suicides do you? lol. This has got to be great material.....the whole blog of lost souls i mean, us people who have no where else to turn, our last glimpse into a (bullshit) human conversation, where someone listens...........but i bet..........no one answers...............
